Kaytranada released his sophomore album, Bubba, on Dec. 13, and the last two weeks proved just enough time for the Montreal-based producer/DJ to get a track on former U.S. president Barack Obama's "Favorite Music of 2019" list.
"Go DJ" is the third track on Bubba, the followup album to Kaytranada's 2016 Polaris Prize-winning debut, 99.9%, and features the smooth, often Andersen .Paak-like vocals of California singer SiR. The song sits alongside 2019 hits like Lizzo's "Juice," Maggie Rogers' "Burning," Sharon Van Etten's "Seventeen" and Frank Ocean's "In My Room."
